Fertilizers are long being utilized in agricultural sector for crop maintenance but the problem with the conventional fertilizers is their persistence in soil for longer period of time causing barrenness of soil. As a result, plants are deprived of essential nutrients. Nano fertilizers provide best ...
Alternatively, nanofertilizers appear promising because nanoparticles display unique properties due to their physicochemical characteristics at the nanoscale. Here, we review applications of nanoparticles in fruit crops. Benefits include fruit productivity, quality and shelf life through their positive effects ...
nanofertilizers;foliar fertilization;heavy metal stress;salt stress;drought stress 1. Introduction Fertilizers are synthetic or natural substances mixed into the soil or sprayed on the foliage of plants to deliver one or more nutrients to foster crop nutrition [1,2]. Although synthetic fertilizers can...

FERTILIZERSNANOCOMPOSITE materialsULTRAVIOLET radiationATOMIC absorption spectroscopyRICEControllable release of nutrients in soil can overcome the environmental problems associated with conventional fertilizer. Here we synthesized mesoporous nanocomposite of Zinc aluminosilicate (ZnAlSiO) via co-precipitation method....
Nanoparticles as Nanofertilizers Nanoparticles are small molecules whose sizes range between 1-100nm and possess many dynamic physical, chemical, thermal, optical, magnetic, and biological properties. These particles have a large surface-to-volume ratio, and their physicochemical properties differ from th...
